The traditional caprese salad is seeing some pretty imaginative reinventions these days, and I’m here for it. A caprese toast recipe is pretty high on the list, so it makes all of the sense to take this recipe a step further with a peach caprese toast, and can I tell you, it rocks.
Let's talk about peach toast for a sec. When peaches are in season, they should be celebrated, and adding them to a simple toast recipe is a great way to go. When peaches aren't in season, you can still make this with preserved peaches, it's totally yum, the flavour is a little different, but tasty just the same.
If you’re a big peach caprese fan, then my Peach Caprese Salad with Burrata is also a must make.
Why you’ll love this
- You get big flavour with little effort.
- Caprese toast with burrata gives a delicious and creamy ‘spreadable’ element.
- There’s a sneaky hot honey dressing that takes the flavour up a level.
- Peach and Burrata toast is really yum.
What occasions would you make Caprese Toast for?
This recipe is perfect for a weekend for breakfast, brunch or lunch! It’s light, but still filling, and you can double the recipe to make more.
It’s also a fantastic easy starter or appetizer for summer entertaining, BBQ’s, parties etc. For entertaining, I would swap out the sourdough bread for a sliced baguette and make mini caprese toasts to serve on a patter.
Cooking tips and how to make
- Toasted bread in a pan with butter and oil makes all the difference in the eating experience, you can totally just pop the bread in the toaster however, it’s your show.
- In terms of peach ripeness, if making it the same day as buying them, try to find a perfectly ripe peach, but if buying a few days ahead, buy your peaches on the firmer side to allow them to ripen.
Other variations to try
- Add slices of prosciutto
- Add tomato for a peach tomato caprese combo
- Add in some strawberries, balsamic vinegar and ground black pepper
- Add a couple of drops of balsamic vinegar
- Sub out the burrata for mozzarella balls and put it under an open grill, you'll get melted mozzarella and blistered peaches, yum.

A classic caprese salad is an Italian salad made with cherry tomatoes or a garden tomato, usually thick slices, fresh mozzarella cheese, basil and balsamic vinegar or balsamic glaze. A tomato caprese salad is delicious. So much so that there are fun ways to change it up, like this peach toast version.
Ideally you make it when you want to eat it. If you’re entertaining, you could slice the peaches in advance and keep them covered in the fridge with a little squeeze of lemon juice to keep them fresh. but because it’s so quick to make, my advice would be to make it when you want to eat it.
